great deal is heard nowadays about Lactart. the
acid OF milk. This has been proved by the practical
experience of thousands OF people to be one OF the
most valuable of food acds. As it Is the pure acid
of milk it is strange that its use as beverage
and tonic particularly good in cases OF dyspepsia
should have become widely prevalent in those sec
lions where it has been introduced. The company
that manufacture it now come forward with Their
Lactart and Honey for the OF coughs and colds
This remedy it ia said, has already won great sue
cess and favorable mention of it is made in every
quarter, wherever it has been tried. Lactart and
Honey has very agreeable taste to the palate, SO
that is exceedingly pleasant to take. and is parc
ularly nice fer children The combination OF a sweet
and sour, such as Lactart and Honey makes, Is
right in line with the past exr erience OF the race In
which such combinations have always bee n found
efficient in the of coughs, hoarseness and sore
throat Honey is known to be soothing and healing,
and the Lactart acting with it, dissolves the thick
ened mucts and makes well throat out OF a dis
ordered one. AS truly scientific cough remedy,
Lactart and Honey should have trial.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 11.-Com-
missioner Joseph S. Miller, of the
Internal Revenue Bureau. is about
to have his first severe struggle with
Congress. The growth of the senti-
ment in favor Of the abolition of the
tobacco tax and the tax on fruit
brandies is likely to eliminate in the
passage of such measure. The De
partment will oppose strenously
the effort. 1t believes that such a
law would only be the initial step
toward abolishing the entire intern
al revenue system. The Commits
sioner says that the tobacco tax is
the easiest and least expensive tax
to collect, and should not be abol-
ished for reasons of economy, while
iu no way can it be shown that a
repeal of the present laws would
benefit the people

How an Editor Trioked a Burglar.

eve wish to return our sincere
thanks" says the editor of an Idaho
paper, ito the enterprising but mis-
guided burglar who broke into our
residence night before last under the
impression that he was cracking the
crib of the druggist who lives next
door. He entered at q window and
carefully removed his boots. setting
them down on the floor. To this
circumstance, and to the fact that we
saw him come in, we are indebted
for the first good pair boots we have
had in ten years. While he was
ransacking the house, we quietly
slipped out of bed and exchanged our
old boots for his, and then went back
to bed and fell asleep. How long he
was in the house we do not know,
but the presumption is that when he
went away he took the old boots.
They have been missing ever since,
and there was nothing else to take"
